Warren Called Herself ‘American Indian’ on 1986 Bar Registration

The April 1986 registration card, handwritten in blue ink, was obtained through a public records request by the Washington Post. The Post also said the U.S. senator from Massachusetts apologized in an interview for identifying as a Native American in the past. The report revives a controversy over Warren’s past assertions of Native American Indian heritage that threatens to be a drag on her nascent run for her party’s nomination to challenge President Donald Trump next year.
